40. Finding Your Voice: Confidence, Identity, and Connection with Fiona Brennan Scott

DISC Profile: Yellow & Green (I&S) | In this episode of the "It Starts with YOU" Vic O'Farrell welcomes Fiona Brennan Scott, a renowned voice and speech coach, to discuss the power and impact of voice, both literally and figuratively, in our personal and professional lives. Fiona explains the dual layers of "voice", the technical side (how we speak) and the deeper, identity-driven side (how our voice reflects who we are). She shares why stepping up to speak can feel vulnerable, linking it to sharing a piece of oneself, not just making sound. Fiona also recounts her experience with personality profiling tools like the Enneagram, highlighting how understanding our own uniqueness impacts communication. Blending practical advice with warmth and wisdom, this conversation invites listeners to consider how their own voice can empower and influence others, all while embracing authentic connection and self-awareness. "It Starts with You" podcast is available everywhere on Wednesdays every fortnight.  If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review! Thank you, Vic.      Let's Connect!
